Draft Day ***Day one Draft Thread***

[Pabst]

Jefferson to Minnesota, which was to be expected. Word on twitter is both Eagles and Vikings were desperately trying to trade up for Lamb when he started dropping. No takers.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Man we are on pick 23- i'm watching the ESPN APP and I am one Pick 20 with JAcksonville.

 

[DFWJC]

Minnesota is happy

 

[unionjack8]

Chargers back in for 37 and 71

can lamb get to the opposing quarterback, or get interceptions? because those are the things we need most.

we led the league in offense last year -- but we lost 6 one-score games,because our defense was just not good enough.

in the meantime, we're crossing our fingers on randy gregory and aldon smith.

i don't get it.

no one is arguing our needs, but no CB was in that value, and if you think Chaisson was going to fix our D, you are dreaming. We have plenty of picks left and will address defense, but you cannot force players that are that far apart in value.

 

[12+88=7]

Watch your mouth!

Dallas has the rest of the draft to help the D.

 

[Luther]

How much more can we get out of the #1 offense if we can’t stop anyone else ?

Score more points than them?

 

[Rockport]

It's really weird that people think at 17, there isn't great talent on the board on defense and you HAD to go with BPA despite it being a luxury position. Lamb wasn't a top 5 or even 10 talent. He was a top 12-15. It's not as though we just got a Julio Jones here.

Right on queue. ***** whine whine ***** no matter the pick.

Patience, not like the draft is over.

Teams that draft for need early lose.

Always.

Oh so Dorsett wasn't a need? Aikman wasn't a need? Emmitt?

It's not one or the other, sure you need good players but there's 2 sides to the game, offense and defense, have to balance them...

 

[Diehardblues]

Yea, that’s a path to a championship. No defense . Lol

EXACTLY!!!

Tons of CB, S, DL, LB out there

Should we have drafted a QB or RB if they were best available talent?

 

[Hennessy_King]

Red zone offense wasn't top 5, was it?

They were 2nd in offensive efficiency last year. defense was 19th special teams was 30th

 

[Chuck 54]

I love Gallup, but Lamb is better. Now, against teams with a shut down CB, you put Cooper in the slot or on the move. Lamb will be great with the screens, and if there is an injury, we aren’t running a prayer out there.

Bob Sturm on the Ticket said this, that Vikings and Eagles were trying to trade up with the Falcons.

 

[RodeoJake]

Fire MM.

 

[Jake]

Glad your not running the team. Gregory and Smith will be reinstated and the defence can be worked on next.

So you're counting on Gregory and Smith, eh? Maybe Greg Hardy and Rolando McClain can join them? Seems like a fine plan.

the chances of landing a stud CB and safety outside the first round drastically starts to lower. DBs are going to fly off the board before our next pick.
